Even when they were discussing, she listened to them as though they were gossiping. Especially when Lu Jinnian ran over to their table and told them that she was sitting nearby. When they saw her, their faces lit up with a myriad of expressions, making her want to laugh.
What's more, she really was smiling.
But when Lu Jinnian sat in front of her and said to her with an uneasy expression, "Qiao Qiao, don't listen to their nonsense...", she couldn't laugh anymore.
She thought back to yesterday at Beijing World Hotel, how Lu Jinnian had beaten Xu Jiamu up, and how she had eavesdropped on his conversation on the phone. Her eyes started to heat up, and a layer of mist started to fill her eyes.
Lu Jinnian panicked. Thankfully, the waiter came over to serve the dishes. Lu Jinnian frantically tore open the paper bag and pulled out a pair of chopsticks, offering them to Qiao Anhao. "Aren't you hungry? Let's eat. "
"Which do you want to eat?"
When Lu Jinnian asked, Qiao Anhao's gaze coincidentally fell on the roast goose. Lu Jinnian immediately picked up a piece of roast goose and placed it in her bowl.
The mist in Qiao Anhao's eyes instantly turned into tears, and two drops fell with a "pa pa pa" sound.
The chopsticks in Lu Jinnian's hands trembled and fell to the ground. He hurriedly bent down to pick them up, but the moment he touched them, he seemed to have remembered something. He threw the chopsticks back on the ground, straightened up, and hurriedly pulled out a tissue to pass it to Qiao Anhao.
Qiao Anhao looked at Lu Jinnian's series of confused actions, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. She reached out to take the tissue, and as she wiped her tears, she said with a slight smile, "Lu Jinnian, you picked up the chopsticks just now, why did you throw them on the ground?"
After Qiao Anhao's reminder, Lu Jinnian realized what kind of stupid thing he had just done. He couldn't help but laugh, but the corners of his lips couldn't curve up. He just stared at Qiao Anhao with a face full of worry.
Qiao Anhao let out a breath, venting the emotions in her heart. She picked up the opened bottle of red wine on the table, and poured half a cup into two wine glasses. She handed one to Lu Jinnian, then held the other one for herself. Raising her glass, she said, "Cheers!"
Then, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Jinnian gulped down a mouthful of saliva, picking up the glass of wine she had poured for him and downed it.
Qiao Anhao picked up the bottle of red wine and continued to pour wine. This time, she wasn't in a hurry to drink. Instead, she raised her glass and looked at Lu Jinnian. She said seriously, "Lu Jinnian, this glass of wine is to thank you for what you've done for me recently."
"The second glass of wine is to celebrate that from now on, I am alone." After she finished speaking, she smiled brightly and clinked her glass against his. She tilted her head back and downed the wine in one gulp.
The second glass of wine was to celebrate that from now on, she was alone … What did she mean by that? Lu Jinnian furrowed his brows, staring at Qiao Anhao without lifting his glass.
Qiao Anhao put down the empty glass and wiped the red wine from the corner of her lips. Seeing that Lu Jinnian was still in the same position as before, she raised her chin towards his glass. "Why aren't you drinking?"
Lu Jinnian stared at her without blinking, and didn't answer her question. "What did you mean by that?"
Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian looked at each other for a few seconds, then explained, "It's simple. Today, Brother Jiamu and I have broken off our engagement."
